Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild release date CONFIRMED for Nintendo Switch

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild release date has been confirmed for March 3, 2017, the same day the Nintendo Switch is released in the UK.

There was a lot of speculation that the new title could have been delayed due to localisation issues, however, those were put to rest during the Nintendo Switch Presentation today.

New bundles have not been announced as of yet, although you can imagine it will be one of the biggest sellers on release day.

"The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will provide players with a landmark Nintendo Switch experience on the console’s launch day on 3rd March," a statement from Nintendo reads.

"It will be available as both a standard solus game for £59.99 on the Nintendo Official UK Store and as a Limited Edition, which contains the game, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Sound Selection CD and a Master Sword of Resurrection figure, for £89.99 on the Nintendo Official UK Store.

"Prepare for the biggest The Legend of Zelda adventure yet, with an open-air style that breaks new boundaries while honouring the origins of the acclaimed series.

"Explore a world of unprecedented size and discover more than 100 puzzle-filled shrines, plus a wide variety of weapons, outfits, and gear. Players won’t want to stop playing, and they won’t have to, since Nintendo Switch allows them to continue the adventure anywhere, anytime.

"The game is compatible with the series of The Legend of Zelda 30th Anniversary-themed amiibo, the Wolf Link amiibo, and the new The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild amiibo.

"In addition to the previously announced Link (Rider), Link (Archer), and Guardian amiibo, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild range of amiibo will also include new Zelda and Bokoblin amiibo. The amiibo in this series are larger and more detailed, particularly the Guardian amiibo with its extra articulation."
